#Create Your First Subscription

You can start a subscription using by assining a plan to a customer or by creating a custom subscription. For the exmples below, we'll use the OpenMeter TypeScript SDK.

Example: Create a subscription from a plan

const subscription = await openmeter.subscriptions.create({
  customerId: 'customer-id',
  plan: { key: 'pro' },
});

• customerId: The ID of the customer to which the subscription will be assigned.
• timing: The timing of the subscription. Can be immediate for immediate activation or a Date object for a future activation.
• plan: The plan to be assigned to the subscription. The latest published version if the plan will be used.

Example: Create a custom subscription

const customPlan: CustomPlanInput = {
  name: 'Custom Subscription',
  currency: 'USD',
  phases: [
    // ...phases and rate cards
  ],
};

const subscription = await openmeter.subscriptions.create({
  customerId: 'customer-id', // or customerKey
  customPlan: customPlan,
});

• customPlan: A custom plan object that defines the pricing and entitlements for the subscription. Its syntactically similar to a PlanCreate object with the key field removed.
